I can't see that it would hurt having both options? After all, you don't
have to enter both if you don't know the info, but as Brian pointed out,
it's more data that people may want to see.

Going out there a bit, but I could also see cases where somebody can see
fighter jets taking off & landing, so it's obviously an Air Force base, but
they tag the operator as the Chinese Air Force, which doesn't actually
exist - it's the People's Liberation Army Air Force!

Thanks
